[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 204492, member: 102"] When we describe someone as "wishy-washy" or someone who "waffles" (both of which are insulting), it means someone doesn't stand firmly for their beliefs or has never done the thinking necessary to even arrive at a set of beliefs (which seems to be Pam's situation). Correct. Pam wasn't very perceptive, was she? She strikes me as someone who rarely gives much thought to anything and allows her emotions to guide her i.e. if it looks like Cliff is doing something corrupt or evil, there must be a good reason for it. Once, Pam told Sue Ellen, that if Cliff shot JR, then Cliff had a "good reason for it." That's a similar mentality to "the ends justify the means." Sue Ellen promptly walked out on Pam, disgusted at the nonsense she had just heard. Before she walked away from Pam she did say something about it not being rational and Pam replied with the moral relativism of "if he is irrational, who do yo think made him that way"? Being wishy-washy and using moral relativism go together like peanut butter and jelly. The only way to avoid moral relativism is to have a fixed standard of morality. [/QUOTE]
